Thanks Sascha,

I was not sure whether VisualisationWallpaper.apk relates to live wallpapers or is coupled with the traditional wallpapers function.

Since it's just a few KB and sits there without impacting ROM size, performance, and ram usage, I decided to keep it (Just to be on the safe side).

If it's confimed, I will remove it in the next version.

Thanks for the hint,

Wally
[Desire Android Development] sascha6982:
I have have removed it and all works fine. If you open the apk you will see which wallpapers they are.
[Desire Android Development] baszu:
Sorry, I mean Scene.

Click at menu > Scenes > Current (unsaved) > Save

Try any name and save, come back to menu > scene again
[Desire Android Development] wally80:
eheh, OK! "saving Sense" was quite non-sense. ;-)

Anyway,

I go to scene, I save my current scene as "wally".

I exit and then re-enter scene and wally is there in the list of my scenes.

So for me it saves correctly.

Is this what you mean or am I misunderstanding?
[Desire Android Development] baszu:
Yes, exactly. Then, it's strange. I can save with official ruu, but can't with your 1.4. Anyway, this is not a big problem, I can live without saving it.
[Desire Android Development] TVTV:
Just noticed a bug in "Quick Settings" - if you tap on a checkbox fast enough, its row will enlarge and ruin the layout.

Thanks for a great ROM, Wally!
[Desire Android Development] dsbnz:
Tried to replicate that one, but seems to be working fine on mine.
[Desire Android Development] TVTV:
I can easily replicate it. Just tap any of the rows really quickly. :)

Question, please - i love 1.4, but the new market is really slow for me (i don't like it). Is there any way to return to the "old" one? -> Solved: did as Wally said -> opened the .zip in WinRar, removed new market from ROM, added market app. from GW 1.3 and flashed with signature check disabled. All good now! Also removed QuickOffice.
[Desire Android Development] wally80:
I can also replicate it. Tapping quickly makes the subsequent line a bit larger.

Funny, but not dramatic... :-)

Yes, you can easily switch back to the previous one.

I just added a flashable zip on the second post (under the MODS section).

cheers

EDIT: OK, did not see the update on you post.
[Desire Android Development] TVTV:
One last question - is there a way to add a shortcut to the Silent and Vibrate profiles when long pressing power button? It's the only thing that separates this ROM from being perfect for me. :)

Again, many-many thanks, Wally!

Later Edit - "Get more HTC Widgets" does not seem to work.
[Desire Android Development] baszu:
I use "Simple Sound Profile Widget" free and small (164KB) widget from market.
[Desire Android Development] wally80:
I might be wrong but I think that the power menu can be edited only when using custom kernels, while my ROM uses the original HTC kernel.

(btw for enabling vibration I usually long press the vol down button: The volume goes down quite fast and vibration is enabled)
[Desire Android Development] sascha6982:
Have a look on this. Powermenu - 4 in 1

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1204178

I use this without any problems.
[Desire Android Development] wally80:
Wow, it works!

Thanks for the hint, I'll include it in GingerWally 1.5! :-)
[Desire Android Development] TVTV:
Confirmed - just tried it - works flawlessly. Thank you!
[Desire Android Development] TVTV:
I wrote to MrLuje about the Quicksettings issue. Awaiting reply.

Wally, if you want a really thorough tester, i'm at your service. I work as a graphics artist/DTP operator and photographer, so "details" is my middle name. :)

P.S. - Saving scenes works flawlessly for me!
[Desire Android Development] dongerado:
Thank you for this rom, Wally

Version 1.4 is the first one I tested...

I like it, but for me the recent apps in the quick settings are very important...

Will you ever add this back?
[Desire Android Development] TVTV:
dongerado, i think that Wally has removed recent apps from Quicksettings because you can already bring up a list of the last 8 recently used apps by long-pressing the Home button.

If you really need/fancy the Quicksettings recent apps better, you can:

a) push the SystemUI.apk file from Gingerwally v1.2 (to /system/app);

b) open the v1.4 ROM .zip with WinRar, navigate to system/app and overwrite SystemUI.apk with the aforementioned SystemUI.apk version, then flash the ROM with signature checking disabled.
[Desire Android Development] backfromthestorm:
Hi!

This rom is almost Peerrrrrrfect. But, no init.d, I use a few useful scripts so without init.d I cant use the rom :-(

Could you implement it on the next version at all? takes no(or very little) space and its very handy to have. Or a flashable zip maybe?

I would be very grateful indeed!
[Desire Android Development] dongerado:
Thanks, good idea!

Using the home botton is no option for me. It takes too much time compared to the drop down menu...
[Desire Android Development] wally80:
Hi!

I thought I already implemented init.d since the first version.

I'll check that everything is fine before publishing 1.5 (next week).

Cheers,

wally
[Desire Android Development] wally80:
It takes exactly one second... :-D

Anyway, if you like more the recent apps on the notification bar, you can do as explained by TVTV. I think you will loose the battery percentage.

Well, nothing serious, you can just go on the UOT kitchen website and follow their instructions to get one back.

cheers,

Wally
[Desire Android Development] wally80:
Guys,

can someone report about the Sense restart issue [1]?

As far as I understood NONE of you is experiencing the problem. is it right?

On the contrary, I have this issue with all gingerbread ROMs, including the ones that are very close to stock (e.g. Teppic74). I tried to logcat and I have seen that Sense restarts because contactwidget crashes. So, if I am the only one having this problem, I assume there's something wrong with my address book on gmail (maybe some bad,corrupted picture that the widget has difficulties to display).

I'll try to post also in the other Gingerbread ROM threads to see if I am alone.

Cheers,

Wally

[1] Sense restart: After exiting an application, instead of getting immediately the home screen, you get the "loading" popup for a couple of seconds ad then all the widget get recreated. This is absolutely unreproducible. Seems random.
[Desire Android Development] backfromthestorm:
Its been fine since the home.app mod... I`m using it in teppics ok anyway. (thanks).
[Desire Android Development] TVTV:
I have only had a single Sense restart since installing your ROM, Wally, when i was exiting the memory usage tab.
[Desire Android Development] TVTV:
Wally, may i suggest you update the Droid font family for your next release? The standard (old) font family has problems with displaying the romanian "ț" character. The updated release has proper support for said character + some improvements.

I have uploaded them on a thread -> here. Tested them (installed on my phone running your custom ROM) and everything's a-OK.

I dunno if the above stated problem is of concern to you, but it's never a bad ideea to have the latest stuff included in your ROM.

L.E. - Also, if it's possible, could you please post the Ringtone and Profile widgets, as i cannot d/l them via "Get more widgets".
[Desire Android Development] wally80:
Hi TVTV!

OK for the Droid fonts update! I will include them in GW 1.5.

I will also add Ringtone and Profile in the add-on list (btw, no idea why the "get more widgets" doesn't work).

I think I will do it within this week, because then I go on holiday and I will not be able to work on the ROM.

cheers,
[Desire Android Development] wally80:
changelog for 1.5

So, just not to forget (1.4 -> 1.5):

1) adding power-menu 4-in-1, as suggested by Sascha

2) Updating fonts, as suggested by TVTV

3) Updating Google Maps (5.9.0, perhaps with world-navigation enabled)

4) removing the remaining files from the live wallpapers, as suggested by Sascha

5) checking whether everything is OK with init.d, as suggested by Backfromthestorm

6) adding ringtone and profile in the add-on section, as suggested by TVTV.

Did I forget something?
[Desire Android Development] TVTV:
Nope, not a thing!

Thanks alot, Wally, you're brilliant! :)

I have noticed a minor bug with Sense (HTC's fault!). If you move some apps to SD card then save the scene, the next time you restart, some apps may have the standard Android icon instead of their own one. The fix for this is to load another scene then reload the custom, saved one. If no one is able to reproduce this, it might be BetterCut's fault somehow, as it's the only software that deals with shortcuts, on my phone.

P.S. - I have removed the new QuickSettings and reverted back to the stock Notifications. The Battery Percentage add-on is still working like a charm.
[Desire Android Development] mark1316:
Im gonna give this Rom a try when I get home from work. Just a quick question : Is there recent apps on the pull down menu ?

Mark
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
No recent apps, but quick settings is there. I think you may find a flashable zip in this thread, together with trackball-to-unlock and also the 4-in-1 Startmenu :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1204178

Edit : btw this rom is running really nicely (together with snq kernel V6). Battery consumption is next to nothing and it's very stable. Thanks Wally!
[Desire Android Development] garvit:
2 issues:

1. Problem with camera pics taken in night are dark Cause While taking pic

Flash light not as bright and it may be out of sync. Using 3rd party flashlight apk

Also dosent give you 3 step light indicator.

2. Unable to merge Calls.

Thanks btw rom is very smooth.
[Desire Android Development] TVTV:
No out of sync problems for me. I tried taking a picture in complete darkness, in a mirror, and the camera catches the flash perfectly and at full power. Maybe it's an exposure issue, but you can't really expect perfect pictures in total darkness with an LED for a flash.

P.S. - The RecentApps "issue" has been discussed a few posts ago. Look it up. ;)
[Desire Android Development] backfromthestorm:
The flash problem is an old one. I found it can be fixed by changing exposure to 100, then it'll work in sync for a while. When it goes out of sync again just switch it back and fourth again. seemed to do the trick anyway.
[Desire Android Development] TVTV:
"Get more HTC Widgets" is working again. It must've been HTC's fault. But i found that the coin widget force closes and the Today in History one isn't connecting to the Internet. So they must not've been updated to work with 2.3.3, nor, i believe, will they ever be.
[Desire Android Development] Athar.r:
Thanks for the awesome rom!!

I have one question thought , i need some more space for my apps. Can i install darktremmors a2sd script and use it ??
[Desire Android Development] RoBy46:
I can put a2sd?

How?
[Desire Android Development] TVTV:
Just a quick idea, Wally - as you plan on keeping this as stock as possible, wouldn't it be a good idea to ODEX the system apps in order to save some more space on the apps partition by saving on Dalvik-cache size? Of course, after you release a "settled" version, anyways.

Don't shoot me if i'm talking nonsense, i'm still learning. :)
[Desire Android Development] wally80:
Ehi, you read my mind! ;-)

I was looking into it in the last days...

I already odexed the whole /system/app.

Just need to find some space in the system partition because the odexed system/app takes more than the deodexed one.

I think GingerWally 1.5 will be a major release, with many improvements!!

Btw, can you give me a link where I can verify the font problem?

I updated the fonts and would like to check that everything is fine.

Wally
[Desire Android Development] SoftWord:
I'm waiting for 1.5.......when u release this version ?
[Desire Android Development] wally80:
If everything works fine, I'll release it tonight, otherwise tomorrow.

cheers,
[Desire Android Development] TVTV:
Here you go, Wally -> Wikipedia in "limba română" (romanian language) or HTC Romania. Everything should show fine, there shouldn't be any "squares" on the page.

Gosh darn it; major release, you say? I just did a fresh reinstall of 1.4 last night... Another reinstall? Fine, i'll do it! :D
[Desire Android Development] flyingff82:
Same to me, just installed. Till now, seems to be a fast and stable Rom with default look. So after some time with CM I like it much. Good work!
[Desire Android Development] baszu:
Major release is coming :)

By the way, I'm currently very happy with 1.4

May I ask what the better of odexed over deodexed one?

From your comment, it seems taking more disk space.
[Desire Android Development] TVTV:
ODEX-ed ROMs take up less space in the Dalvik-cache, but as Wally said, have a higher space impact on the System partition. Also, ODEX-ed ROMs are, arguably, a bit speedier. Stock ROMs are ODEX-ed.

One more thing - deODEX-ed ROMs are easier to skin and modify.
[Desire Android Development] SoftWord:
thank u for your work, and is best odexed or deodexed rom for you ?
[Desire Android Development] baszu:
If 1.5 get odexed, will it still be able to flash crt animation and UOT kitchen?
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
I really like the idea of odex-ing system apps. For me personally system space will never be an issue, as I always skin down custom rom's to barebone (no Sense, no widgets, no facebook, ...) :)

Edit : however, come to think of it, odex-ed makes it harder to customise (esp. using themes). But can we still flash for example 4-in-1 menu and/or trackball-to-wake from this thread :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1204178

Can't wait to try on 1.5...
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Btw today really put the rom to a test, as I never really use my phone intensively. Listened to shoutcast radio for 8 hours straight via wifi at work today and still have 50% battery left. I don't really have any point of reference, but seems ok to me?
[Desire Android Development] TVTV:
OK? OK?! It's excellent!
[Desire Android Development] wally80:
4-in-1 menu and trackball-to-wake are already part of GW1.5.

I think anyway, that there would have been no problem, as system/framework is still deodexed.
[Desire Android Development] wally80:
Wow!!!! That's an excellent result!

I wish I could have your battery... :-D

Wally
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
That's excellent, thanks.

:) cheers!

Very interesting, I really had no idea and thought this might be normal. Apparently your rom is giving my phone excellent battery performance via wifi. Normally wifi uses up far too much battery in my experience. Thx for the great rom!
[Desire Android Development] TVTV:
daffie, what radio version are you using, please?
[Desire Android Development] mark1316:
I wait with baited breath to ty the new version . Cant wait to have longer battery lol
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
I'm using 17.05.23 version.
[Desire Android Development] wally80:
I am using and testing GingerWally_v1.5 with System/app odexed (and 215MB free on /data).

I feel it extremely fast. I don't know whether it is placebo effect :-) but it works definitely very good...

The system partition is completely filled (4K free).

This is very good for me, but might not be OK for people who want to flash add-ons from the 2nd post.

I have three options now:

1) I re-deodex some apps (for example, if I re-deodex just the HTC-mail and HTC-IME app you would get around 2MB free).

2) I keep it as it is, and whoever wants to install add-ons has to free some space by himself... :-D

3) I keep it as it is, and I create a flashable zip that frees some space for the addons.

Let's see...

(QuickOffice, PDFViewer, and almost all ringtones are out).
[Desire Android Development] TVTV:
Wally, must the widgets in the 2'nd post be installed into the /system/app folder, or can they be installed manually into the /data/ partition? I've noticed that the downloadable HTC Profile Widget is simply downloaded as an APK and installed like any other software & it works like a charm, so maybe the same is true for the other Sense stock widgets. :)

P.S. - I've just flashed the newest radio. All went smooth, but i kept my fingers VERY crossed.
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Great stuff!!!

If I'm being selfish then I would opt for option 2; keep the version as-is.

As said earlier I always skin-down a custom rom to barebones anyway and consequently always have some 20-40Mb free in System folder.
[Desire Android Development] wally80:
Actually I have no idea...

I'll give it a try, but I am not optimistic.
[Desire Android Development] bw7and:
best wifi performance when compared in terms of battery usage

i surfed for about an hour losing just about 8-9% battery yesterday

while the same on stock GB or other roms would have resulted around 20% decrease in battery

can sense 3.0 messaging and weather be added to 1.5???or as an add-on??
[Desire Android Development] wally80:
Sorry, too late...

I am uploading v1.5... :-)
[Desire Android Development] daffie:

Thank you, Wally, for the new version and for your patience and kind advice. :)
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
I *did* wait patiently, didn't I ? :) (like a kid in a candystore). Just skinned the rom and will now flash. Thanks again Wally!

Just finished installing a mildly customized version. I get 189 MB free on /data with GMaps, GMail, Voice Search and Street View installed (totaling 21 MB). Was 164 with the same apps installed under 1.4.

Again, good work, Wally!
[Desire Android Development] wally80:
:-) you are removing everything! Why don't you use an aosp ROM instead of a Sense one?

Yes, Data++. The ROM fits exactly in Data++. No way to make a CM7r2 version without using SDext.
[Desire Android Development] daffie:
Good point :) i have tried many aosp roms. But I like the look and feel of Sense-roms much more than aosp roms. This is a good compromise for me. Rom very lean&fast + nice looking (smaller fonts). Btw I include Launcherpro instead of Rosie/Sense.
